Re Crested Bellbirds in Goonoo

Yep, the Annual Birdcount IS fun. Next year
I'll post details a few weeks beforehand in case someone is travelling through
and wants to join in.

As far as the Crested Bellbird in Goonoo goes - I
have never seen or heard one there in the 15 or so years that I've been
regularly visiting the forest. The only confirmed record that I know
of for Goonoo is from October 1952! This would make your record
a very important one if you are certain about it. Did you atlas it? I have only
ever heard one once in the Dubbo area, (in the TSR south of the city) so my
feeling is that they are not so much 'becoming scarce', but that they have never
been resident here.
